Grilled Reuben Dogs

Let me introduce you to Ronnie. Ronnie is Sarah’s father-in-law. He was a professional boxer “back in the day” so he’s a tough-looking guy with a booming voice and a scraggly dark beard. That’s the outside. On the inside, Ronnie is a teddy bear. He has a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody. And he does.

He pretty much devoted half a year to helping Sarah and Patrick build their house. He and his beautiful wife, Lisa, host the most magical backyard barbecues all summer long and invite every neighbor, friend, relative and person off the street to come join. And on the 4th of July this year, Ronnie transformed into “The Bearded Lady” at the request of his grandkids, so they could be in the local parade as the cast of “The Greatest Showman.”

I could go on and on about the good that this guy does for the world. Ronnie is the best.

Ronnie also has an obsession…

Hot dogs.

Let’s put it this way: If you were to hand Ronnie a gift card for a five-course fancy dinner and one for a foot-long with all the works, I’m pretty sure he’d take the foot-long.

And so, Ronnie, this one’s for you. Grilled Reuben Dogs! Kiwi and Carrot’s attempt at a pretty healthy dog piled high with the works to make it one incredible Ronnie-approved happy summer, Reuben-sammie-inspired hot dog.

We use Teton Rivers Ranch hot dogs which are unreal delicious.

I mean, I don’t normally even eat hot dogs, but I have to say, I’ve become a believer. Go to their website to read their super-cool story of how these things got started. And then go grab yourself a package of dogs and get that grill going. (We buy ours at Costco!)
